SelectChicago’s FDI 101 Seminar

Thank you to everyone that attended the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) 101 seminar on February 21, 2018! We hope you found the event informative and worthwhile. Our primary goal was to increase your understanding of the economic development tool known as FDI, which is accelerating in popularity at the local level. Many aspects of FDI were covered during the event and the presenters did an outstanding job of sharing their knowledge and experience. If you were unable to attend, you can watch the entire FDI 101 presentation online at https://www.facebook.com/2Bald/ and scroll down to the February 21, 2018 Foreign Direct Investment 101 video. This online video was made possible by at Two Bald Guys and a Microphone, who were gracious enough to live stream and record the event. We thank Two Bald Guys for their support of SelectChicago.
